About Merino Wool

For those unfamiliar with Merino wool it has unique properties making this fiber extremely comfortable and conducive to health. The fibers are very fine making the wool soft, lightweight and comfortable. Unlike synthetic fibers that stick to the skin, merino wool absorbs and evaporates moisture making the blanket breathable. This reduces clamminess and prevents the blanket from sticking to the skin. Merino sheep have adapted to extreme changes in temperature which causes the wool fibers to expand or contract with temperature variations. So it works with your body to regulate body temperature, keeping you warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.

The cell membrane of the wool fiber is hydrophilic on one side. This enables the wool to absorb water vapor making it anti-static. In addition the hydrophobic side of the cell membrane complex of the fiber reduces stains from being absorbed. Because of its ability to absorb and evaporate moisture, merino wool can absorb sweat and odors and evaporate them when blankets are aired outside. Merino wool contains a natural grease substance called lanolin, which has antibacterial properties. Lanolin prevents dust and lint accumulation. The antibacterial properties make wool blankets and bedding dust mite resistant. These blankets will provide years of faithful service.
